09 May - National Public Gardens Day

 


National Public Gardens Day is an annual celebration in the United States that honors the role of public gardens in promoting environmental stewardship, plant conservation, education, and community engagement. It typically falls on the Friday before Mother's Day each year.

This day encourages people to visit and appreciate the beauty and diversity of public gardens, botanical gardens, arboretums, and other green spaces throughout the country. It's an opportunity for individuals and families to explore these gardens, learn about different plant species, participate in educational activities, and enjoy the tranquility and serenity that these spaces offer.

National Public Gardens Day also serves as a platform for raising awareness about the importance of preserving and protecting natural habitats, promoting sustainability, and fostering a deeper connection between people and nature.

Many public gardens celebrate this day by offering special events, tours, workshops, plant sales, and other activities to engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds. It's a chance for communities to come together and appreciate the beauty of nature while learning about the importance of conserving our planet's biodiversity.
